Default Spoiler in action

It's always bugged me that I can't see my spoiler when it is raised up.
So I mounted up a cam and captured some never before seen footage

Nice video! Next step, add captured telemetry, so we could see the car's speed as the spoiler activates!

Nice!!!! I used to be able to see the very top of the deployed spoiler with the 996, but I can't see a thing at all with the 997. Didn't realize the rubber flaps underneath the spoiler would be jostling like that with the turbulence.

Nice Bruce.

See you're getting your monies worth out of that camera.

What's your next production project you'll be entertaining us with?

Default very nice

Really a cool video, thanks for sharing and nice editing, music etc...

I have another solution to see your wing raise and lower with no camera needed... add a 997TT rear deck lid

Nice car you have there and nice color!

Now if you had the audio feed from the London Underground embedded in the video to go with the "Mind the Gap" caption, I would have rolled on the floor laughing. I still remember my first visit there and hearing "Mind the Gap" coming from the PA system. Priceless!
